THE national commissioner of edu-
cation, says the Grand Forks Herald,
has just issued his annual report for
1885, and it contains facts and figures
of paramount interest to Dakota. 1t
appears that Dakota leads twenty two
of the states in the amount it expends
for educational purposes. The COM
missioner finds that Dakota has IL
school house for every l5l people
within its boundaries. In the pro.
portion Of school houses to people Da-
kota surpasses Ithe states of Kansas,
New Hampshire. Minnesota, Indiana,
Wisconsin, Florida, Michigan. Miss
ouri, Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois. South
Carolina, Pennsylvania. Tennessee.
Colorado. Connecticut, New York,
North Carolina. Arkansas, New Jer-
sey and Texas. The commissioner
says that in North Dakota there is
one school house to every 200 people.
In value of prominent school property
the territory outranks fifteen states.
And yet in the minds of a democratic
congress. Dakota is not entitled to the
privileges of self government.

Talk About "soft snan...

Steve Rowan, the big policeman whotwirls
a club along Madison street, was talking
about soft snaps tho other night. "When I
first came to town" he said, II got a job
breaking the leo around q big water main
they werc laying along Sixteenth street and
under tho river to the west side. It was a
bitter cold winter and l suffered terribly. I
kept the main clear of ice, however, and
when spring came it found me still sitting
around that old pipe. I expected my dis
charge every day, but as it did not come I
began. to realize the fact that l was in full
possession Of tho snap. Very little ice formed
around tho main during the months of June,
July and August, and I had plenty of time to
goto horse races and base ball games. That
snap ran along until October, and 1 never
missed n weeks pay in al that time. Talk
about soft snaps. There Is ono with q blue
ribbon tied around it."-Chicago Herald.

Intoxication Among Animals.

"The philosophers" says Houzeau that as.
sert that monkeys that have once used intoxi.
eating liquors to excess will not touch them
again arc moro DESTROYS of giving us a lesson
in morals than holding to the exact truth.
The majority of tame monkeys are fond of
wine and spirits. They help themselves when
they can. They enjoy getting drunk, and
some of them become such sots that they re.
fuse to reform in spite of the most severe
punishment. Besides, their intoxication re.
scmbles precisely that of man; their legs arc
badly controlled, their tongue is thick and its
movements uncertain"
Moreover, this identity of the effects of in.
toxication dcscends much lower in the animal
kingdom. Donkeys have been seen dead
drunk. Horses get drunk; and if, as a gen.
eral thing, dogs refuse vino, some of them
are addicted to the use of alcoholic beverages
when well sweetened and sufficiently diluted.
